I've been seeing a lot of misinterpretation about what is really going on here so I thought I'd clear it up for y'all.
Basically there are some shady tweaks that have back-doors and are stealing Jailbreak user's iCloud account and password to a remote server, which so far there are roughly 250 thousand accounts that have been leaked (A vast majority of them came from China). It seems that most of these tweaks were from the the 'apt.so/apt.feng.com' repository, but I'm pretty positive that there more third-party repositories that could possibly have these back-doors. I personally have never heard of this repository so if you haven't installed it or the tweaks that come from it then you should be fine. Just be smart and make sure you do some research on a repository/tweak before you install it.
If you have some common sense while jailbroken then you're really not at as big of a risk as you think you are. So relax people.
The best way to avoid being threatened by this stuff is two factor authentication and NO pirated repo/tweaks.
